Sideways Strategies

One of the greatest benefits of being an options trader is the ability to make positive returns on your portfolio in a sideways or neutral market.

The Stock Market will trend 50% of the time, and will move sideways in a choppy fashion the other 50% of the time.

With that being understood, it is powerful and important to still be able to bring in strong profits, month after month, when the market is not trending. This one fact alone should be enough of a reason to learn this business! That means no matter if the market is up-trending, down-trending, or sideways trending you will still continue to generate profits in the Stock Market as an educated options trader.

It would not be fair to my loyal customers for me to share the strategies that I use to generate double-digit monthly returns in a neutral market – however, I will give you one hint: it involves selling options through a multi-dimensional strategy that involves both calls and puts.
